Eric Bischoff Calls “WWE Is MAGA” Claim Cheap Noise and Clickbait

Eric Bischoff is pushing back hard on the idea that WWE is a “MAGA company,” making it clear he thinks it’s all for clout.

Amid ongoing controversy tying WWE to President Donald Trump — especially after Triple H joined the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition — many people online have labeled WWE as politically aligned.

While speaking on the February 14, 2026 episode of the 83 Weeks podcast, Bischoff addressed the claim directly after Conrad Thompson framed the perception bluntly: “For better or worse, it has become positioned that WWE is the MAGA company.”

Bischoff immediately challenged that claim, pointing to WWE’s mainstream collaborations with the likes of Bad Bunny, who is against the current administration, as evidence that the company doesn’t operate within a single political lane.

“I mean, isn’t it a fact that it was WWE who introduced Bad Bunny to the mainstream American audience in a bigger way outside the music industry? How can we arrive at the conclusion that WWE is one way, when in fact they’re giving both sides of the equation great entertainment? If all they did was book hardcore conservative country acts, I’d go, yeah. But that’s not the case. They’re not doing that.”

He argued that the label is more about online engagement than reality, suggesting the debate is being amplified for attention and cheap content instead of anything of substance.

“I think people are trying to make more out of this because it’s good commentary, good clickbait, and great podcast conversation. I think it’s just a lot of fricking cheap noise. You know, like cheap heat in wrestling—because it’s so freaking easy to get and has no value. This is kind of like cheap content.”

Bischoff didn’t stop there. He went after what he described as internet-driven outrage, saying the discussion shows more about online culture than WWE’s actual business practices.

“I think the internet wrestling community is creating it because now they have something new to fight about, make fun of each other over, and accuse each other of horrific things. Now they can do that and talk about wrestling at the same time. It’s a sad commentary, is what it really is.”

Bischoff’s comments make it clear he views the “WWE is a MAGA company” label as exaggerated and driven by online discourse instead of any concrete company policy. For him, WWE remains an entertainment brand that appeals across political lines.
